Anisha Kanwar asked Pamela Clare:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Pamela Clare Create a life for yourself that enables you to write, and then write the best book you can. So many people think that writing is going to mean they can quit the day job, but few authors get that chance. Most are in it for the long haul, so make sure that long haul enables you to live a healthy, happy life. The trick is creating balance so that you can write your butt off and be passionate about it while at the same time taking time to live. Empty sponges don't make good authors. You have to experience life in order to share that experience through fiction.
